(a) \(-\frac{a}{2b}\)
(b) \(+\frac{a}{2b}\)
(c) \(-\frac{a}{b}\)
(d) \(+\frac{a}{b}\)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) \(-\frac{a}{2b}\)

Explanation:
1. \(E=αt+b{t}^{2}.\) At temperature of inversion \(E\) is minimum
2. \(i.e., E=0\)
3. \(∴α{t}_{i}+b{t}_{i}^{2}=0, i.e., {t}_{1}=-\frac{a}{b}\)

(a) 1 : 2
(b) 2 : 1
(c) 1 : 1
(d) 1 : 3
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) 1 : 1

Explanation:
1. The specific resistance (\(ρ\)) is the characteristic of the material of conductor. Its value depends only on the material of conductor and its temperature. Its value does not depend on the length and area of cross-section of the conductor.

Question 3: Faraday’s 2nd law states that mass deposited on the electrode is directly proportional to
(a) Atomic mass
(b) Atomic mass \(×\) Velocity
(c) Atomic mass/Valency

Question 4: Two identical cell send the same current in \(2Ω\) resistance, whether connected in series or in parallel. The internal resistance of the cell should be
(a) \(1 Ω\)
(b) \(2 Ω\)
(c) \(\frac{1}{2}Ω\)
(d) \(2.5 Ω\)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) \(2 Ω\)

Explanation:
1. In series, \({i}_{1}=\frac{2E}{2+2r}\)
2. In parallel, \({i}_{2}=\frac{E}{2+\frac{r}{2}}=\frac{2E}{4+r}\)
3. Since \({i}_{1}={i}_{2}⇒\frac{2E}{4+r}=\frac{2E}{2+2r}⇒r=2Ω\)

Question 5: In a potentiometer experiment for measuring the emf of a cell, the null point is at 480 cm when we have a \(400 Ω\)resistor in series with the cell and galvanometer. If the series resistances is reduced to half, the null point will be at
(a) 120 cm
(b) 240 cm
(c) 480 cm
(d) 600 cm
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) 480 cm

Explanation:
1. At null point, no current flows through galvanometer. Therefore, the resistance connected in series with galvanometer, at null point position will be in effective. Thus, null point is obtained on potentiometer wire at the original position after the removal wire at the original position after the removal of series resistance from galvanometer

Question 6: Two different conductors have same resistance at \({0}^{°}C.\)It is found that the resistance of the first conductor at \({t}_{1}℃\) is equal to the resistance of the second conductor at \({t}_{2}℃.\)The ratio of the temperature coefficients of resistance of the conductors,\(\frac{{α}_{1}}{{α}_{2}}\) is
(a) \(\frac{{t}_{1}}{{t}_{2}}\)
(b) \(\frac{{t}_{2}-{t}_{1}}{{t}_{2}}\)
(c) \(\frac{{t}_{2}-{t}_{1}}{{t}_{1}}\)
(d) \(\frac{{t}_{2}}{{t}_{1}}\)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) \(\frac{{t}_{2}}{{t}_{1}}\)

Explanation:
1. Resistance of a conductor varies linearly with temperature as
2. \({R}_{t}={R}_{0}\left(1+αt\right)\)
3. For the first conductor
4. \({T}_{{t}_{1}}={R}_{0}\left(1+{α}_{1}{t}_{1}\right)\)
5. \(or {α}_{1}=\frac{R{t}_{1}-{R}_{0}}{t} ….\left(i\right)\)
6. Similarly, for second conductor
7. \({α}_{2}=\frac{R{t}_{2}-{R}_{0}}{{t}_{2}} ……..\left(ii\right)\)
8. From Eq. (i) and Eq. (ii), we get
9. \(\frac{{α}_{1}}{{α}_{2}}=\frac{{t}_{2}}{{t}_{1}}\)

(a) 1 ampere ×1 ohm=1 volt
(b) 1 watt ×1 sec=1 joule
(c) 1 newton per coulomb =1 volt per metre
(d) 1 columb ×1 volt=1 watt
Show Answer & Explanation

1. \(1 \mathrm{coulomb\ ×1volt=1\ joule}\)
2. Hence, option (d) is incorrect.

Question 10: If an electric current is passed through a nerve of a man, then man
(a) Begins to laugh
(b) Begins to weep
(c) Is excited
(d) Becomes insensitive to pain
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) Is excited

Explanation:
1. Human body, though has a large resistance of the order, of \(KΩ\left(\mathrm{say\ 10}kΩ\right),\) is very sensitive to minute currents even as low as a few \(mA.\) Electrons, excites and disorders the nervous system of the body and hence one fails to control the activity of the body

4. \({P}_{1}={I}^{2}{R}_{1}={\left(\frac{E}{{R}_{1}+r}\right)}^{2}{R}_{1}\)
5. Power delivered in second case
6. \({P}_{2}={I}^{2}{R}_{2}={\left(\frac{E}{{R}_{2}+r}\right)}^{2}{R}_{2}\)
7. Power delivered is same in the both the cases.
8. \({\left(\frac{E}{{R}_{1}+r}\right)}^{2}{R}_{1}={\left(\frac{E}{{R}_{2}+r}\right)}^{2}{R}_{2}\)
9. \(\frac{{R}_{1}}{{\left({R}_{1}+r\right)}^{2}}=\frac{{R}_{2}}{{\left({R}_{2}+r\right)}^{2}}\)
10. \({R}_{1}\left({R}_{2}^{2}+{r}^{2}+2{R}_{2}r\right)={R}_{2}\left({R}_{1}^{2}+{r}^{2}+2{R}_{1}r\right)\)
11. \({R}_{1}{R}_{2}^{2}+{R}_{1}{r}^{2}+2{R}_{1}{R}_{2}r={R}_{2}{R}_{1}^{2}+{R}_{2}{r}^{2}+2{R}_{1}{R}_{2}r\)
12. \({R}_{1}{R}_{2}^{2}-{R}_{2}{R}_{1}^{2}={R}_{2}{r}^{2}-{R}_{1}{r}^{2}\)
13. \({R}_{1}{R}_{2}\left({R}_{2}-{R}_{1}\right)={r}^{2}\left({R}_{2}-{R}_{1}\right)\)

(b) 2.4 \(w\) g
(c) 3.5 \(w\)g
(d) 1.2 \(w\) g
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) 3.5 \(w\)g

Explanation:
1. \({m}_{\mathrm{Ag}}/{m}_{\mathrm{Zn}}\) = \({E}_{\mathrm{Ag}}\)/\({E}_{\mathrm{Zn}}\) = 108/31
2. \({\mathrm{or} m}_{\mathrm{Ag}}={m}_{\mathrm{Zn}}×108/31\)= \(w×108/31\)
3. 3.48 w = 3.5 w

Question 13: For a given temperature difference which of the following pairs will generate maximum thermo-emf?
(a) Lead-nickel
(b) Copper-iron
(c) Gold-silver
(d) Antimony-bismuth
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) Antimony-bismuth

Explanation:
1. Thermocouples are widely used type of temperature sensor and are used as means to convert thermal potential difference into electric potential difference, using different combinations of metals. If metals were arranged according to their heating contrasts a series were formed antimony, iron, zinc, silver, gold, lead, mercury, copper, platinum and bismuth. The greater the heating contrasts between metals, the greater the electromotive force (EMF). Antimony and bismuth formed the best junction for emf.

(d) 0.242 g
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) 0.126 g

Explanation:
1. According to Faraday’s law of electrolysis
2. \(m=zq\)
3. \(\frac{{m}_{\mathrm{zn}}}{{m}_{\mathrm{Cu}}}=\frac{{z}_{\mathrm{Zn}}}{{z}_{\mathrm{Cu}}}\)
4. \(∴\frac{0.13}{{m}_{\mathrm{Cu}}}=\frac{32.5}{31.5}\)
5. \({ m}_{\mathrm{Cu}}=\)0.126 g.

Question 15: It is possible that any some constant value of emf, but the potential difference between the plates is zero?
(a) Not, possible

Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) \(9.67×{10}^{4}C{g}_{\mathrm{eq}}^{-1}\)

Explanation:
1. Charge \(→q=\frac{m}{z}\)
2. Where, \(z=\) electro chemical equivalent
3. \(∴ z=\frac{m}{It}=\frac{0.067}{1×60}=0.001117\)
4. \(q=\frac{108}{0.001117}= 9.67×{10}^{4}C/{g}_{\mathrm{eq}}\)

Question 18: The temperature of cold, hot junction of a thermocouple is \(0℃ \mathrm{and}T℃\)respectively. The thermo-emf produced is \(E=AT-\frac{1}{2} B{T}^{2}.\) If \(A=16, B=0.08\)0, the temperature of inversion will be
(a) \(100℃\)
(b) \(300℃\)
(c) \(400℃\)
(d) \(500℃\)
Show Answer & Explanation

Explanation:
1. Let temperature of cold junction be \(0℃\) and that of hot junction be \(T℃.\) The relation for thermo-emf is given by
2. \(E=AT-\frac{1}{2} B{T}^{2}\)
3. Given, \(A=16, B=0.08\)
4. \(∴E=16T-\frac{1}{2}×0.08×{T}^{2}\)
5. Since, at temperature of inversion emf is zero, we have

(a) Shifts towards right
(b) Shifts towards left
(c) Remains unchanged
(d) Remains at zero

Answer: (a) Shifts towards right

Explanation:
1. As the resistance of metal increases on increasing the temperature, so resistance of metal conductor in left arm will increase on heating. For meter bridge
2. \(\frac{{R}_{1}}{{R}_{2}}=\frac{l}{100-l}\)
3. As \({R}_{1}\) increases \(l\) also increases.
